    New to me 06 RAM 1500 few questions

    I posted about a truck I was considering buying the other day. Come to find out it's a 3.7 and not the 4.7. the for sale sign had a .7 on it. The front number had worn off or something and wasn't legible. I assumed 4.7 since it didn't have any hemi badging. But it's the little 3.7 which is still...

    What do I need to know about owning a 3rd gen 4.7

    Yeah, I figure if it goes out I can swap it in the driveway. Rwd are pretty easy to do especially 2wd. What do guys do to avoid the sludge issue?

    Passenger seat won't go back and forth

    Yea I suppose I'll try a junk yard.. I've never had much success for anything in the past. Seems like they're pretty well used up around here before they go to the bone yard

    Passenger seat won't go back and forth

    Yeah I was really hoping to order them new or make something that would work but it may not be an option.

    Passenger seat won't go back and forth

    All of that stuff is gone. My guess is it broke and is now missing.

    Passenger seat won't go back and forth

    I would like to fix the issue on my 1995 where the passenger seat will not go forward and back with the lever. The seat back works but not the bottom handle to move it forward or back. Makes getting rear passengers in a pain. Are there parts available? What do I search for? Or is there a Jerry...

    46re acting up

    The tv cable was set to tight it was at least 1/8 -1/4 in to tight. So I adjusted to where it should be and readjusted the front band and now it shifts perfect. Better than ever actually!

    46re acting up

    I am going to check the tv cable and the front band here in a few minutes and see what I find if everything is good with those I will throw in a bottle of lube guard red and see what it does.

    46re acting up

    recently bought my 01 1500 5.2 2wd and didn’t notice this issue until now.. I adjusted the front band and replaced the filter and fluid. The last couple of days I’ve noticed it will slip? Or maybe it just goes to neutral when getting on it. But it doesn’t do it till it gets up there in the rpm...

    How to decipher transmission code for build date

    I am curious if this 01 I bought has ever had the transmission replaced. But I have no idea how to read the code on the side of the trans and a search was unhelpful. It's a 1500 5.2 v8 truck. Here is the code Pk5211s843aa 2660 1322
